I hope you all had a great Christmas or holidays wherever or whatever you are celebrating :)

I´ve made my last Christmas card for this season and I´ve used the cute "Brass The Steampunk Reindeer" image from Smeared Ink that I colored with copics and gel pens. The background is made with a steampunk gear stencil and distress ink pad vintage photo. Added some christmas stickers and a net.

There is still time to enter our monthly challenge - Anything goes Smeared Ink

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, we have had a good one here, rather quiet which has been lovely! Today I've got a tea light cover to share with you. I've used one of the rubber stamps from the Keepers rubber set.

Here is some inspiration for today, have been playing with a new image! =) I needed something new for my frame and wanted to use one of the new digis from Alexandria Serrano at Smeared Ink called X-Ray Monocle Raven! The image is colored with promarkers and I added a little glitterpen too, but it's hard too see in the photo, I added a background paper also from Smeared Ink, from a paper pack called Caught In My Web! Then as the card base I used a dark brown cs.Hope you will like my creation and that it will inspire you to join our Anything Goes challenge, just remember that you have to use Smeared Ink images to join in! =)

Hey all here is my inspiration for the week. I have let my inner sparkle fairy have her way and this is what I have for you. Well lets be honest I sparkle everything. So I guess she's not totally my inner fairy but what the hay. I used Smeared Ink digi and rubber stsmps on this card. Enjoy!

Time for me to inspire again here at Smudgy Antics using Smeared Ink images! I used another Steampunk image and this time it's Steampunk Elf Christmas and he's colored with promarkers, added some glitter here and there but not sure it's showing on the pic! =) He's added to a dp with Christmas trees and that is glued onto dark brown cs for hte cardbase. I found my sheet of letters and Christmas sentiments so added the letters that says "God Jul" in swedish or Merry Christmas translated! =)

Don't forget that you have to use Smeared Ink images to enter the current "Anything Goes" challenge! =)

find themselves wanting to decorate their dwellings for the holiday season.

I was rather taken with a felt decoration a friend was making when she visited me a few weeks ago...
white felt snow men and red felt hearts.
I just knew I could make one but tailor it to my taste....
SO....here are my Poemen with black felt hearts.

I've hung 'em around my lamp... but will be moving 'em later.
I cut the Poeman shapes and the hearts out of felt... sew them together with a little wadding in each.
I added a little metal skull with a bow to each of the hearts.

The Poemen all have little distresses cravats.
I stamped POE from SMEARED INK onto small circles of cotton using STAZON.....
I then sew Poe's face to the ready stuffed snowmen.
Another decoration done.... just a few more to go.

Don't forget to enter our ANYTHING GOES CHALLENGE,

You'll see another project from another designer tomorrow.

Hello all! Today it's my turn to share my Smeared Ink make with you. I don't know about all of you but I am loving getting a daily dose of Smudgyness. Today I'm sharing my piece for 12 days of creepmas.
